Hi,

Thanks for the response.

glob expands * but you have to give it full paths

Ok.

Be careful to use forward slashes.

Yep.

For full caveats see 'perldoc -f glob' and File::Glob

I read both before I posted. They weren't helpful. There doesn't seem to be anything in the docs that discusses the return value of glob. The only thing of note (to me) in the File::Glob docs was this:

 The C glob code has the following copyright:

    Copyright (c) 1989, 1993 The Regents of the University of Californ
+ia.
    All rights reserved.
    This code is derived from software contributed to Berkeley by
    Guido van Rossum.

Monks, bow down and hail the BDFL. The True Path has been revealed.
